Why Must I have a Registered Agent?

The law requires that any entities (i.e LLC, Corporations, LP's etc.) doing business within state must appoint and maintain a registered agent. This is so government agencies, consumers, and competitors can find that company in the event that legal actions are taken against the company or compliance issues arise.

What happens if I do not have a registered agent?

In a worst-case scenario, you or your company could have monetary penalties imposed, sanctions and the loss of your “good standing” to do business in the state in the event you fail to appoint or maintain a registered agent/registered office. This could also affect your company’s ability to enter into business agreements and contracts, might void others, and could limit your access to state courts.
